As you can see, support is significant for the introduction of a train emoji into the game and the discord. Now, for those of you who don't follow, I am proposing the emoji for a double purpose.

Lib Train: The phrase 'Lib Train' has been used to describe a situation where enough liberals know each other, such that these liberals can cycle through the game keeping governments between them. In a seven player game an example of a 'Lib Train' would be 1/4/6 all strongly suspecting each other are liberal, allowing 1 to pick 4 as their chancellor, 4 to pick 6 as their chancellor etc. This 'Lib Train' is especially prevalent in five player games with the '14' meta.

Train Meta: A new meta is springing up in some circles which has been dubbed the 'Train Meta'. This is where the first player picks the second player as their chancellor. The second player then picks the third player as their chancellor, and so on. Now, while I do not want to comment on the benefits of this meta, I believe that the train emoji could also work for this.

Now, I haven't formally created this emoji, as I firstly wanted to sound out whether there was interest in the idea. My plans are open but, after discussing it with some of the community, I've had suggestions to perhaps incorporate one of the liberal faces onto the front of a train. This would be not dissimilar to the locomotives in 'Thomas the Tank Engine' the famous children's railway television show. As a base train, I am looking at: image or image Something along those lines. Anyway, thank you for reading and I hope you find my idea interesting enough to merit further investigation.
